This attack on the Japanese fleet, HNA will be divided into three attack waves.

Each attack wave is spaced about 20-30 minutes apart.

The first wave of attacks consisted of 27 B-29 strategic bombers with modified magazines.

The second attack wave consisted of two groups of 60 SBD5 dive bombers.

The third attack wave was the remaining SBD5 dive bomber group.

There is a reason for this arrangement.

First of all, the Fritz X guided bomb has relatively high requirements for the battlefield environment.

First of all, there can be no thick clouds and thick smoke.

If they are all on the same head, the chaotic battlefield is not conducive to the play of Fritz X bombs.

This is also the limitation of current precision-guided weapons.

After all, this thing is not the advanced radar guidance of later generations.

It's just a radio command plus visual guidance.

So they serve as the first wave of attack.

Not only can it disrupt the formation of the Japanese fleet, but it can also seriously damage or even sink their capital ships in the first place.

After all, the Fritz X guided the bomb with a big guy weighing 1.5 tons.

The historical battleship Roma sank directly after being hit by two.

Although there are reasons for luck, this is also a big guy with a full load displacement of 46,000 tons.

Being able to dry up two pieces directly shows how powerful it is.

The second wave of fighters was the most numerous.

It is mainly used for mending knives.

The third attack wave is a tail sweeping operation, and the knife is replenished after the knife is replenished to ensure that there are no omissions.

If the captain of the Second Submarine Group had known about this, he might have cried in the toilet.

In terms of the essentials of wolf pack tactics, as long as they wait for the evening to come, opportunities will always arise.

This is a direct surrender of the results to the newly established HNA.

Later, the commander of the First Bomber Wing of Hainan Airlines directly sent a pennant to the group commander.

This also made the 2nd Submarine Group laughed at for many years.

Today's weather is very good, although it cannot be described as a clear sky without clouds, but the clouds are also very thin.

Even at an altitude of three or four kilometers, you can clearly see the sea surface.

The 27 B-29s were divided into three attack formations.

A total of 9 bombers per formation.

The 1st bomber formation was in charge of Kongo-class battleships.

The second bomber group was in charge of the aircraft carrier Fengxiang.

The third bomber formation was responsible for the cruisers, as well as 28 other destroyers.

In short, whichever battleship has a heavy tonnage, it is right to hit which one.

"The radar found the target, and all the crews followed me."

When there were still tens of kilometers from the Japanese fleet.

The radar on board the B-29 detected targets at sea.

Twenty-seven massive B-29 bombers began to adjust altitude and headed over the target area.

At a distance of tens of kilometers, they did not take long.

By looking at them, they were all able to see the group of ships floating on the sea in the distance.

The group leader immediately said: "Each formation acts according to the battle plan. "

Immediately, his formation began to accelerate towards the target fleet.

And not far from them, 24P-51D Mustang fighters flew in the air at about 2000 meters on standby.

On the way, they were not without encounters with reconnaissance aircraft sent by Japanese aircraft carriers.

But with a radar, they can easily avoid it.

This also led to the fact that the Japanese fleet discovered the incoming aircraft group within visual range.

"Is this an aircraft sent by our aircraft carrier?"

"Yaga, how can our plane be so big."

"So whose is this?"

yes, so whose is this?

"Bagaya Road, it's the plane of the Shina, quickly pull the battle alarm."

Immediately, a battle alarm sounded on the battle cruiser Kirishima, which was the first to discover the group.

The captain of the battlecruiser Kirishima hurriedly walked out of the command tower.

"Yaga, what happened?"

"Captain, the plane of the Chi Na is coming, over there."

When they looked up and saw a huge fleet of 27 bombers, they were stunned.

"Bagaya Road, is it their big bomber, stupid Chi Na, who thinks that the bomber can deal with us?"

Then he continued: "Order the fleet to take our ship as the center, change the wheeled air defense formation, and concentrate firepower to shoot down the winged things for me." "

As the captain of the battleship Kirishima, he was very unimpressed with both aircraft carriers and very.

It was not believed that these winged things could pose a threat to heavily armored battleships.

Although he admitted that these incoming planes were somewhat big.

He was very shocked by the aviation strength of the Northeast Army.

But that's all.

"What about the Fengxiang aircraft carrier? Immediately let them send fighters into the air to intercept. "

Needless to say, now the entire Fengxiang aircraft carrier has begun to get busy.

Soon a Nakajima Type 3 shipborne fighter taxied off from the deck.

It was the first carrier-based fighter of practical nature in the Yin Navy.

It has a maximum speed of only 241 km/h and is armed with only two 7.7 mm machine guns.

The entire Fengxiang aircraft carrier is equipped with a total of 8 aircraft, of which 3 are spares.

However, after they took off, 8 Mustang fighters flew out of the formation of Mustang fighters participating in the escort not far away.

They would never allow Japanese fighters to interfere with bomber groups dropping bombs.

Soon the first three-plane bomber group flew over the Japanese fleet.

At this time, the anti-aircraft fire of the Japanese army began to roar.

Black smoke burst into the sky, but it didn't have much effect on the B-29 in flight.

In this era, anti-aircraft artillery needed at least 2,000 rounds or more to hit a fighter.

From here it is known how low the hit rate of anti-aircraft artillery is.

It was not until the advent of VT proximity fuses that the situation improved dramatically.

This is one of the reasons why VT fuses can be called black technology inventions.

However, the black technology of the B-29 strategic bomber this time is not only the Fritz X confirmed guided bomb.

There is also the MK15 Norton sight.

The explosion of the shell disturbed the air flow, causing the fighter to shake even more.

The captain personally came to the Norton scope to do the work.

When the center was aimed at the battleship Kirishima, which was spraying anti-aircraft shells.

He decisively pressed the bomb throwing button.

The Norton scope automatically calculates two core data, the bomb angle and the angle of the projectile.

So the bomb throwing has become a fool's operation, the aim is aimed at the target, and the hit rate is also increased exponentially.

A kimchi barrel that claims to hit the ground at an altitude of 9,000 meters.

If this thing is coupled with the Fritz X precision-guided bomb.

The resulting efficiency is that 1+1 is greater than 2.

The Fritz X bullet moves downward in free fall at an extremely high speed.

The five glowing dots at the tail of the bomb can be clearly seen through the Norton sight.

The bomb, which had four radio-controlled rudder surfaces, was directly aimed at the stern of the battleship Kirishima when the radio command was fine-tuned.

"Aaaaa Hit down, hit down. "

After seeing an aerial bomb falling at high speed towards their battleship.

Suddenly the anti-aircraft gun emplacements in the tail were in a hurry.

The Fritz X, who fell at a kilometer/h speed, missed.

It landed directly and accurately on the deck between turret three and turret four at the stern of the battleship Kirishima.

The horizontal deck of more than 40 mm was directly smashed out of a large hole.

The Japanese sailors who rushed past from here disappeared directly.

After penetrating several decks, the 1.5-ton armor-piercing bomb fell to the bottom of the steam turbine engine room.

"Boom..."

In the terrified eyes of the marine soldiers, the huge aerial bomb exploded.

The furious energy shredded everything around it.

4 The steam turbine received the impact, was torn apart under the impact of the furious energy, and was destroyed.

Soaring flames burst out from the gap at the top along with water vapor.

In the midst of the violent explosion, the tail of the battleship Kirishima was lifted off the surface.

This wave of explosions not only destroyed the engine room of the battleship Kirishima, but also suffered a lot of damage to the keel of the tail.

At the same time, tons and tons of seawater poured in along the huge opening at the bottom.

"Captain, the engine room was blown up by a hit."

"Yaga, what about the damage pipe? Hurry to the rescue, go quickly. "

The captain looked at the thick smoke rising from the tail and roared a little hysterically. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) )

This bomb directly shattered his original pride.

At the same time, he fell into deep fear.

So their bombs turned out to be so fierce, and the first one hit the key point of the battleship Kirishima.

With this one, the entire Kirishima ship is not dead or disabled.

Even if it can be dragged back now, it will not be repaired in a few years.

But did the B-29 bombers in the sky give him that chance?

"Yes, Captain, we successfully hit, successfully hit."

The captain who personally handled the operation also had an excited smile on his face.

"Pull up the altitude and return home."

The Fritz X bomb is so large that even the magazine of the 29 bomber can only carry one.

The main thing is that this modification was somewhat rushed.

If you design a dedicated magazine pylon, you can still mount four pieces.

The first machine was thrown, the first hit, which also greatly encouraged the confidence of other crew members.

Soon two more Fritz X shells were dropped almost simultaneously.

After the engine room was blown up, the battleship Kirishima became a floating target in the sea.

This is much less difficult for them to operate.

It can improve the accuracy rate by at least 30%.

"Uh-huh..."

Bombs falling at high speed emitted a loud whining sound.

This sounded like a talisman to the crew of the battleship Kirishima.

Kirishima's luck may have been slightly better this time.

One of the Fritz X bombs passed by the battleship Kirishima.

The huge explosion set off a monstrous column of water.

Although there was no direct hit, the huge explosion also tore a hole in the side chord.

The other bomb hit the chimney in the middle of the ship.

After tearing through layers of armor, the Fritz X bomb fell to the boiler compartment at the ground.

"Boom..."

The explosion sounded again.

The entire battleship Kirishima shook violently again in a huge explosion.

Huge smoke came out of the hole in the middle of the ship, accompanied by the flames that rushed into the sky.

In a short time, huge smoke covered the entire battleship.

The sailors who survived the explosion escaped, but did not escape the thick smoke.

Just a few breaths, it directly makes people dizzy.

After more than ten seconds, these thick smokes can directly kill people.

"Hey, this makes us how to aim, no matter, let's vote first."

Three B-29 bombers of the second group dropped bombs one after another.

Three Fritz X shells fell again.

The sight of the battleship Kirishima frightened the Japanese sailors of the entire fleet.

Looking at the giant ships on the sea shrouded in thick smoke, they were all shocked.

Do they doubt the magic of these bombers at an altitude of thousands of meters?

Why was it able to hit Kirishima so accurately?

They saw each other drop three bombs, and two hit.

Another one is just a little bit off.

This hit rate can no longer be described as horror.

Before they could react, the Fengxiang aircraft carrier was also attacked.

Three Fritz X bombs fell from the sky like the palm of God.

"Boom... Rumble... Boom....."

Three huge aerial bombs fell from the sky, all hitting their targets.

The deck was blown through with ease, even the bottom of the ship, followed by a huge explosion in the sea water at the bottom of the ship.

The huge explosion directly lifted the aircraft carrier Fengxiang off the surface.

Then it fell heavily on the surface of the water.

Shocking waves were set off.

The massive amount of seawater is frantically poured in, and even the watertight cabin does not play a big role.

The Fengxiang was still very lucky.

Due to the fact that the armor was too thin, it was directly penetrated by the Fritz X shell.

If there is an explosion inside the hull.

These three bombs were enough to blow it into two or three.

But now it's no better.

Three aerial bombs fell.

Perhaps because of the problem of 273 smoke, two bombs did not hit the target, but fell in the sea next to them.

But one of the bombs is like a heavenly help.

It fell into the front turret No. 2.

The armor at the top of the turret, although 200 mm thick, was easily penetrated.

It is also hindered by the turret that the penetration of the Fritz X shell is weakened.

But it fell into the ammunition depot.

In a devastating explosion.

The huge battleship Kirishima was blown in two.

The power of the martyrdom directly dealt a fatal blow to the battleship.

As a battle cruiser, it was able to withstand the fatal blow of three Fritz X shells, which was already very resistant.

"Sink, it's sinking."

In the thick smoke, you can vaguely see the battleship Kirishima as if it has been cut off.

The crew members who saw this scene were all very excited and excited.

Unexpectedly, in the first attack, they achieved such a huge result.

Then the crew set their eyes on the Fengxiang aircraft carrier, which was also smoking and on fire.

Several Fritz X shells fell one after another.

This aircraft carrier, which is only over 10,000 tons, can withstand such an attack.

Although only two hits were under their dodge.

But it also gave it a fatal blow.

The unstoppable sea water poured in wildly.

In the desperate struggle, within a few minutes, the stern of the deck was cocked, and the front of the deck was already immersed in the sea.

The two capital warships were completely destroyed.

But there were still more than 10 B-29 strategic bombers that did not drop bombs.

So they set their sights on three Nagara-class light cruisers.

As for the destroyers of one or two thousand tons, wait until these three light cruisers are sent to the bottom of the sea.

Even if the three Nagara-class cruisers have worked hard to move around the sea, avoiding bombs from the sky.

But if you can't hold these bombs, it will change the course ah.

A 1.5-ton heavy armor-piercing bomb fell down.

Where can the Nagara-class cruiser, which is only about 5,000 tons, be able to carry it.

Under the indiscriminate bombardment, these three Changliang-class light patrols did not escape the fate of sinking.

By the time the last B-29 left, it had been more than 20 minutes.

And there are no more floating battleships on the sea.

Only the crew sailors of the Japanese warship floating on the sea, lifeboats and debris and stains.

When 60 SBD5 dive bombers arrived at the scene, they were immediately dumbfounded.

"What about the battleship? What about the little devil's battleship? "

"I leaned, not a single little trash fish left us behind?"

"I thought I could open a meal, but the soup didn't stay there."

"Aren't there still some little devil naval soldiers on the sea? Rush down and them. "

Turn grief and anger into strength, and uphold the principle of not sparing any little devil sailors.

Sixty SBD5 dive bombers began indiscriminately bombing and strafing Japanese sailors on the sea.

The P-51D Mustang escort group on the side could not sit still and joined the ranks.

There were no survivors of this battle.
